A court in Iran has sentenced Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian to an unspecified prison term, the state news agency IRNA said on Sunday, quoting the judiciary spokesman.

And the Obama supporting WP gets burned by Obama’s Iranian buddies. Lesson to the Left - you are disposable, too.

American-born son of two Iranian parents who has now found his ‘roots’ in his mother country. Good luck with that.

Serving a jail term is in Jason Rezaian's sentence... (emphasis added)

Followed by what?

How come Trump has been way more vocal about the Compost’s reporter in jail than they have? We know why...

A non-coward would demand his release. Good president would show some backbone.

If not released in 24 hours put a US aircraft carrier on alert just offshore. If they come at it, defend. If they do not do anything, strafe the city of Qum (To wake them up). Follow with short media release, “We mean it”.

Let no Iranian aircraft take off until release of the hostage.

Among the charges, Rezaian was accused of "collaborating with hostile governments"

That 'hostile government' would be the USA. Since he is with the WP he is likely guilty, as would be most members of the media.

Maybe it it time for Sean Penn to pay another visit to Iran. I have genuine admiration for his sneaking that American Orthodox Jewish prisoner from Bolivia across a hostile border and back into the US.
